Welcome to my sports blog. My name is Johnny. I live in this great country called Canada. I love all kinds of sports, especially hockey, football, and boxing. My favorite recreational sport is fishing. My favorite teams are the Washington Capitals (yup, even though I'm Canadian) and the Kansas City Chiefs. I know, I know.... I'm still waiting for a championship. But I'm sure I'll get one before I die. So now enough about me, it's time for sports talk.

Crosby signs for $8.7 million/year for 5 years Crosby puts down roots in Pittsburgh


The city of Pittsburgh no longer has to fret about the Penguins going anywhere. And now the Steel City doesn’t have to worry about Sidney Crosby going anywhere for a very long time either after the MVP inked a five-year contract extension that will keep him in a Penguins uniform through the 2012-13 season.

Crosby, the team captain in every sense of the term, agreed to a five-year extension Tuesday that is expected to give the Penguins more salary-cap maneuverability when it comes time to re-sign other youngsters like Evgeni Malkin and Jordan Staal in the next few years. So far this summer, the Pens, eliminated by Ottawa in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, have signed budding defensive star Ryan Whitney (six years), Mark Recchi, Gary Roberts, Darryl Sydor and Petr Sykora to contracts.

Clearly, Crosby’s was the biggest of them all. No. 87 will average $8.7 million per season under the terms of the new deal, which officially begins during the 2008-09 season.
